"Don't believe the naysayers: This was a great year in film, from the sexy-sweet "Secretary" to the nasty musical "Chicago.""

And Stephanie Zacharek has a list as well.  I won't transcribe it all here, as there's nothing that wasn't included in Charles Taylor's list, but she does provide some interesting comments, as well as her honorable mentions.

"A year of erotic masterpieces and exhilarating amorality proves good movies still get made, even if they don't always get seen."

Salon's Charles Taylor offers up his Top 16 films of 2002:

1. Y Tu Mama Tambien
2. What Time Is It There?
3. Femme Fatale
4. Morvern Callar
5. Far From Heaven
6. The Pianist
7. Chicago
8. Triumph of Love
9. CQ
10. Possession
11. Secretary
12. About a Boy
13. Punch-Drunk Love
14. 24-Hour Party People
15. The Quiet American
16. Time Out

Far From Heaven, Secretary, 24-Hour Party People and Punch-Drunk Love were already on my list of movies to see (once they're out on DVD, I don't like going to movies, but thats a whole other story) and now there's a few more that will have to be added.

"It never fails. The year in technology always stacks up like this: There's the bottom, which is packed with half-baked ideas and badly conceived devices. There's the middle, where it's so crowded you'll find only room for improvement. And then there's the top, where it's lonely and there's only room for one - or in this case, 100. Find out what CNET editors picked as the crème de la crème of tech in 2002."

I confess, I'm a gadget nerd.  Shiny things with buttons make me happy.  There's a lot of shiny things with buttons in this article.
